Description

7-Hydroxyhexahydrocannabinol is a synthetic cannabinoid derivative of significant interest in advanced pharmaceutical and research applications. This compound matters for its role as a key intermediate or reference standard in the development of novel therapeutic agents targeting the endocannabinoid system. It is primarily needed by pharmaceutical R&D laboratories, analytical testing facilities, and manufacturers of high-purity active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) for cannabinoid-based medicines.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Serves as a critical building block in the synthesis of novel cannabinoid-based active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) for clinical research.
• Analytical Reference Standard: Used as a certified reference material (CRM) in HPLC, GC-MS, and LC-MS methods for the quantification and quality control of cannabinoid products.
• Metabolite Studies: Employed in pharmacokinetic and metabolic pathway research to study the biotransformation of synthetic cannabinoids.
• Neuropharmacology Research: A vital tool for in-vitro and in-vivo studies investigating the interaction with CB1 and CB2 receptors and related neurological effects.
• Process Development & Optimization: Used in scaling up synthetic routes and optimizing reaction conditions for commercial cannabinoid production.
• Impurity Profiling: Acts as a marker or impurity standard to ensure the purity and safety profile of final drug substances.

Quality Control

Our 7-Hydroxyhexahydrocannabinol is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, GC-MS for identification, and residual solvent analysis, to ensure compliance with high-purity standards for research and pharmaceutical use. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications and test results is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) at a controlled room temperature of 15-25°C (59-77°F) to minimize oxidation and degradation. The container should be kept in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area, separate from incompatible materials.
